Kanimozhi’s bail plea deferred

New Delhi: Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Judge OP Saini reserved its order on Kanimozhi’s bail application till November 3, 2011. The court was hearing the bail application of Kanimozhi along with Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar, Cineyug Films’ founder Karim Morani, and Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Chief Executives Asif Balwa and Rajiv Agarwal. The order on the bail applications of Kumar, Balwa, Agarwal and Morani has also been reserved till November 3.

However, the CBI opposed the the bail application of DB Realty promoter Shahid Balwa and former telecom minister A Raja’s former private secretary RK Chandolia. Earlier, arguing strongly for bail, Ahmad told the court that the investigations into the 2G spectrum allocation case were over and charges framed, so there was no question of tampering with evidence and the custody of the accused was not required.
